Demetra Kontoulis Bouras, a Larchmont resident travels to her native village of Strefi, in the fertile plain of Messinia, Greece every year where she tends to her family's small olive groves. The area has a long tradition in the production of high quality olive oil with very low acidity. The olive groves that were planted by her grandfather are cultivated in a natural and traditional way. Demetra inherited this family olive grove, with the minor request that she supply olive oil to family members here in the U.S.

After sharing this superb quality olive oil with friends and co-workers, she was encouraged by their positive response and decided to try to make it as a part-time small farmer. Today, her family travels between the United States and Greece, actively participating in the annual harvest, selection and production of the olive oil. It is 100% natural olive juice, with no additives, preservatives or mixtures of lower grade olive oils.
